About My Clients

Are you preparing for a big change? Or, perhaps you're already in it, and can't see your way through? Whether you're expecting your first child or just trying to make it out of whatever challenge you're in, my focus in on supporting you through the transition! It's in these big changes when we need as much support as we can get, and as your therapist I hope to collaborate with you so that you may find your balance even in the instability.

My Background and Approach

Life can be hard and sometimes there's only so much preparing we can do. What I really love about being a therapist is supporting people during all those moments in life when people need extra support. Think, preparing for a baby, adjusting to life with a new baby (or two, or three), adapting to a cross-country move, or settling into a new promotion at work, just to name a few. Together, we'll build upon your natural strengths and qualities while simultaneously exploring your unique history. Your history has shaped you and I believe it's important to spend time here in order to understand yourself in a deeper way. This knowledge and insight will help you feel more grounded and connected with yourself, which in turn will allow a smoother transition through all life's tough moments.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

At some point in life I think we lose ourselves. Maybe when you were 6 years old and realized you didn't have anyone looking out for you, so you had to learn to parent yourself. Or it was in middle school, when the pressures from peers damaged you so much that you forgot who you really are. Sometimes it happens in relationships, other times in over-demanding jobs...whenever it happened for you, let's work together to find you again. When we lose ourselves it can feel like we're lost, directionless, powerless, at the mercy of every external factor in your life. So when we decide we're ready to take back the reigns, to find ourselves again, the results are incredible. I see this happen in my relationships with clients and it's truly one of the most inspiring parts of my work. As soon as you realize you're reconnected with your self you will begin to feel grounded, focused, empowered. You'll trust yourself and you'll understand the magic of what makes you you.
